DOMINION ELECTIONS.

A general election in the Dominion OF Can
ada was resolved upon last night at ottawa
The statutory term OF the present Parliament IL
drawing TO close and the political authority
ot the Copserv alive Government Is r"pidiy
waning. During the year the Liberals nave
heen uniformly successful in provincial cleo
tops They have won decisive victories I'D
Ouebec and Nova Scotia, have improved their
nosiiion in Manitoba and have completely
rou,ed their opponents in Ontario. The gen.
eral trend of the political operations or the
WEAR has been Enthusiastically in the direction OF
the Opposition. The veteran Conservative
leader, being the keenest politician In the
Dominion, knows that his Ministry mas Deeh
thoroughly discredited as the result OF the pro-
yipcial elections. lie has recognized the
futility of remaining In ohce Without ap-
pes ling to the country. His followers disheart-
ened by political reverses are not In q position
IN confront the taunts of their victorious OPP
nonents. Every week that passes without
dissolution of Parliament must find the Up
nosition stronger AMI the Government weaker.
Sir ! I'm Macdonald has therefore resolved to
make the attempt to Outman0uvrc MS ahtag-
onists by a bold stroke in the open field rather
than remain on the defensive 10 the stronghold
of power.
The result of q general election is not by any
means foregone conclusion. The Liberal
successes in the provinces decisive as they
have been, do not necessarily betoken Con-
servatiye defeat all along the line The Gov-
eminent is responsible for the policy OF
protection and shows no signs OF abandoning
its position. The Opposition leaders are
known to be in favor of sweeping notifications
of the tariff. When they are not open
advocates of free trade they arc radical in
their ideas OF revenue reform. The effect OF
the recent elections will be- to render them
Oyer-confdent of success and indisp0sed 10
be cautious and moderate in tariff discussion.
There are many Protectionlsts in tho Liberal
ranks whose support will be alienated II
apprehensions are excited by the attitude OF
these leaders toward the tariff. Sir John Mac
donald by N akng an appeal to the country as
the uneQuiyOcal champion OF national indus
tries may succeed in raliying downcast party
and enlistipg popular support.
1t is true that the results OF the national
policy have not fulfilled the extravagaut
expectations of those who proposed it less tnan
ten years ago. The long lines of railway trans
portation between the most populous province
and the seaboard supplies of coal In Nova
Scotia have been n source of embarrassment.
The detached situation OF the proyinces-the
confederation has been aptly compared to the
sectiops of fishing polo fastened end to end
and the great distances intervening between

The Christmas files of the London journals are
crowded with literary "reminiscences Of Charles
Dickens. Possibly the references to the "Carol
and the "Chimes' the Cricket and the
Haunted Man." Scrooge, Tiny Tim and the
Cratchits are more numerous this season than In
previous years because foreign cynics have charged
that Charles Dickens's Christmas is rapidly going
out Of style. But however loyal the English may
be to the Christmas traditions which the great
master Of their fiction established for the holiday
season, they do not allow sentimental considera-
tions to interfere with the rapid disappearance Of
the London which his genius made famous Among

The cast is a good one. Madame Melville

was walking on the track at jackson

his head from his body, the latter rolling

counselling him to do that which was

many young men now away from their
fathers home attending college-and how
imploring the letters they would receive
from their parents at home to be a good
boy, and to endure the separation until
